SKY65338-21: 450-470 MHz Transmit/Receive Front-End
Module
Applications
Description
x Tetra radio
Skyworks SKY65338-21 is a high-efficiency Front-End Module
(FEM) that incorporates a transmit and receive path, and an
antenna transmit/receive (T/R) switch.
x Remote metering
x GSM
The transmit path consists of a high efficiency Power Amplifier
(PA) followed by an harmonic filter for rejection of harmonic
frequencies.
x WLL transmitters
The PA is implemented using Skyworks high reliability
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process and is Class AB
biased to provide maximum efficiency with a low spurious output.
Features
x Transmit output power > +25 dBm
x High gain in transmit path: 32 dB
A high linearity and high isolation Single-Pole Double-Throw
(SPDT) switch is used at the common antenna interface between
the transmit and receive paths. The receive path is a low insertion
loss through-path with input and output ports internally matched
to 50 Ω.
x High transmit/receive isolation > 30 dB
x Internal RF match and bias circuits
x All RF ports internally DC blocked
x Single DC supply = +3.6 V
x Small footprint, MCM (12-pin, 8 x 8 mm) SMT package (MSL3,
260 qC per JEDEC J-STD-020)
Skyworks offers lead (Pb)-free RoHS (Restriction of
Hazardous Substances) compliant packaging.

The device is mounted in a 12-pin, 8 x 8 mm Multi-Chip Module
(MCM) Surface-Mounted Technology (SMT) package, which
allows for a highly manufacturable low-cost solution.

Technical Description
Operational Modes
The SKY65338-21 provides input and output amplifier stages, and
is internally matched for optimum efficiency. An active bias circuit
provides the input and output stages with excellent gain tracking
over temperature and voltage variations. The module operates
with positive DC voltages, and maintains high efficiency and good
linearity. The nominal operating voltage is 3.6 V for maximum
power, but the device can be operated at slightly lower voltages
for other mobile applications.
The module’s receive and transmit modes are configured using
the V1 and V2 control signals (pins 9 and 8, respectively). The
transmit path provides an harmonic filter and high efficiency PA.
The receive path provides a low loss <1 dB bypass between the
antenna port and the receive port.
The SKY65338-21 is internally matched for optimum linearity and
efficiency. The input and output stages are independently
supplied using the VCC1 and VCC2 supply lines (pins 12 and 10,
respectively). The bias reference voltages for stages 1 and 2 are
supplied using common lines VREF1 and VREF2 (pins 5 and 6,
respectively). The DC control voltage that sets the bias for
stages 1 and 2 is supplied by the VC_BIAS signal, pin 4.
The absolute maximum ratings of the SKY65338-21 are provided
in Table 2. The recommended operating conditions are specified
in Table 3 and electrical specifications are provided in Table 4.
Electrical and Mechanical Specifications
Typical performance characteristics of the SKY65338-21 are
illustrated in Figures 3 through 10. The state of the SKY65338-21
is determiend by the logic provided in Table 5.

Package and Handling Information
additional information, refer to Skyworks Application Note, PCB
Design and SMT Assembly/Rework Guidelines for MCM-L
Packages, document number 101752.
Since the device package is sensitive to moisture absorption, it is
baked and vacuum packed before shipping. Instructions on the
shipping container label regarding exposure to moisture after the
container seal is broken must be followed. Otherwise, problems
related to moisture absorption may occur when the part is
subjected to high temperature during solder assembly.
Care must be taken when attaching this product, whether it is
done manually or in a production solder reflow environment.
Production quantities of this product are shipped in a standard
tape and reel format. For packaging details, refer to the Skyworks
Application Note, Tape and Reel, document number 101568.
The SKY65338-21 is rated to Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (MSL3)
at 260 qC. It can be used for lead or lead-free soldering. For

Note 1: Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may reduce device reliability. There is no damage to device with only one parameter set at the limit and all other
parameters set at or below their nominal value. Exceeding any of the limits listed here may result in permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device
must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body
or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions should be used at all times.

Evaluation Board Description
The SKY65338-21 Evaluation Board is used to test the
performance of the SKY65338-21 FEM. The Evaluation Board
schematic diagram is shown in Figure 11. An assembly drawing
for the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 12 and the layer detail
is provided in Figure 13. The layer detail physical characteristics
are noted in Figure 14. Table 6 provides the Bill of Materials
(BOM) list for Evaluation Board components.
acts as the heat sink, it must shunt as much heat as possible
from the device. Therefore, design the connection to the
ground pad to dissipate the maximum wattage produced by
the circuit board. Multiple vias to the grounding layer are
required.
NOTE: A poor connection between the slug and ground increases
junction temperature (TJ), which reduces the lifetime of the
device.
Circuit Design Considerations
The following design considerations are general in nature and
must be followed regadless of final use or configuration:
